This week, Fujifilm made several announcements about its Instax brand of instant cameras and film. The first is that it's producing two limited edition colors of its Instax Mini Evo hybrid camera to celebrate the company's 90th anniversary, which occurred earlier this year.
The bundle includes the camera, which can capture digital images and print them out onto Instax Mini film, along with a case, color-matched strap and lens cap. You can get it in 'Dark Silver' or 'Titanium Gold'

Fujifilm also announced an update to its Mini Link printer, which can print pictures from your phone onto Instax Mini film. (The previous generation model could also connect to certain X-series cameras, though there's no mention of that functionality on the 3's product page. )
The Mini Link 3 adds a bank of 'bright pastel LEDs' that will indicate things like battery life and printing status. And while its battery should last about as long as the 2's, charging it should be much simpler for most users: it now supports a USB C port versus the Micro USB one found on the older model.
The Mini Link 3 also introduces a 'sage green' color option, which replaces the 2's 'space blue. ' It's also available in white and pink, like its predecessor. The printer will use the Instax Mini Link app to let users choose which photos to print, add effects and more.

Alongside the Mini Link 3, Fujifilm announced a new 'sprinkle' variation of its Instax Mini film. Both items will be available later this month.
Finally, an Instax film variant that's perfect for photographing baked goods.

One final announcement that's (literally) larger than the rest: Fujifilm has released a driver that lets owners of its Instax Link Wide printers use them with a Windows computer instead of being limited to just using it with their smartphones or specific Fujifilm cameras. According to the driver page, a version for Macs is coming soon.
